"As long as he is still alive, the Uchiha clan will be safe."
However, Yu Liu's answer caused the air ninja present to show deep shock and resentment.
"Then why did the leader say such a thing?"
"Have you already forgotten the will of Lord Shennong so quickly?"
Immediately, an extreme pro-war ninja stepped forward and questioned him.
He already harbored serious resentment towards the young girl in front of him becoming their leader, but he couldn't speak out due to the will of the previous leader and the presence of that terrifying ninja.
If the other side can uphold the legacy of the previous leader and lead them to conquer the whole world and spread the name of the Sky Ninja, then so be it.
But now the other side is even giving up on revenge and wanting to forget it.
He was unwilling to endorse a leader who lacked qualifications, ambition, and whose values were severely incompatible with his own.
This caused a great stir, and many Sky Ninjas behind him also expressed the same dissatisfaction.
"Well,"
"Then go and take your entire force to the Land of Hot Springs to seek revenge."
"I won't stop you."
Seeing this, Yu Liu took the fortress key with the string attached from her bosom and handed it directly to the ninja who advocated fighting and revenge.
Looking at the brass key lying quietly in the girl's slender palm, the man's exposed pupils suddenly flashed with an urgent and greedy look, and even his breathing became much more rapid.
After all, this is the core key that can power the entire Sky Fortress!
Having it means possessing the power to destroy a nation with ease!
Not only him, but many of the ninja standing beside him also showed the same expression.
"I need you with me,"
“Angkor Fortress cannot be powered by just any fuel; it also requires the zero-tail energy within your body.”
After the girl in front of him was willing to relinquish her power, the man actually changed the way he addressed her, which had only lasted for one night.
However, he was not eager to take the fortress key that was quietly lying in the girl's hand, even though he really wanted to become the leader of the Kongnin lineage.
The reason is quite simple:
He's not qualified!
Many of the surviving ninjas around him were his peers or even his predecessors. His passion and radicalism alone were not enough to win them over.
Moreover, zero tails are also an important key factor.
Without Zero Tail's power, this fortress, capable of easily destroying a country, will forever remain a slumbering ruin in the mountains!
This is the decisive reason why they would approve such a young girl as their leader.
But now, it seems the other side is also willing to relinquish power.
That's right!
As long as he can obtain the highly symbolic key to the fortress and the support of the Zero-Tails Jinchuriki, then he, Hayama Kura, will be able to firmly sit in the position of leader of the Sky Ninja lineage.
This undisguised desire immediately alerted his companions.
"Yushan Cang, Lord Shennong has just passed away, and you're already eager to seize power?"
"You really have a clever plan!"
The originally peaceful atmosphere of mourning was ruthlessly shattered when important interests emerged.
Of course, this is not just a hidden danger within the Kongren faction; almost every faction has such power and interest struggles.
"Hmph, so high and mighty."
"Don't you want to be the one in charge of Angkor Fortress, Morino Kanakawa!"
With his ambition magnified and exposed, Hayama Kura stopped hiding it and directly mocked and ridiculed his companions.
The ninja who was rebuked by the words was speechless for a moment.
Given such enormous benefits, it's hard for anyone to be selfless.
Even those Kongren who were unwilling to vie for power, or who felt they were not qualified to do so, simply remained indifferent and aloof. They ultimately did not have a strong desire to support the idea of making a young girl their leader.
"Hmph, have nothing to say now?"
"The desires between people are traceable and share a common origin!"
"Since everyone is willing to compete, then let Miss Yuru decide who should receive the power of the Zero-Tails!"
In the end, Yushan Cang didn't dare to be too radical, lest he incur public wrath, so he could only place all his hopes on the girl.
After scanning his competitive companions around him and noticing their gradually calming and resigned attitudes, he turned his gaze back to the girl in front of him.
"Miss Yu Liu, to whom are you willing to lend this power?"
"If it were me, I would definitely push the entire force to the center stage of the ninja world!"
"Make all five great nations submit to the feet of the Sky Ninja lineage!"
He spoke with righteous indignation, and the longing in his eyes reached its peak at that moment.
These words caused the other Sky Ninjas who were vying for this power to immediately lose their chance to strike first. They could only silently agree with a few words like "Me too," and then turn their attention to the girl.
Even the Sky Ninjas who chose to remain neutral on one side turned their attention to the young leader, curious about what choice he would make.
Unfortunately,
[Shennong was a powerful figure in his lifetime, possessing both forbearance and political acumen, along with ambition and the ability to command respect!]
However, they left too early and too hastily, failing to lay a solid foundation for their students' future.
A sigh of regret escapes my lips as I silently bear these thoughts.
However, on the other hand, Shennong may never have intended to relinquish power during his lifetime.
"Whoever wants this key can take it."
Amidst numerous complex gazes, many of which carried connotations of aggression and coercion, Yu Liu offered her own answer.
At the same time, he threw the fortress key in his hand forward.
And because of the need to occupy a spot, it landed squarely in Yuyama Kura's hand.
The moment he picked up such a 'heavy' object, an undisguised smile appeared in the man's eyes.
"Thank you for trusting me, Miss Yu Liu,"
"Please continue to support me wholeheartedly. I will definitely carry on the legacy of the Shennong predecessor..."
Clutching the key tightly, Yu Shancang continued his lecture without any restraint. Some of the other air ninjas around him also showed a hint of resentment, especially Morino Kanakawa, who had previously clashed with him, whose eyes were full of gloom. After all, the two of them were of equal seniority, and the former did not have any special talents!
"Are you sure you're not mistaken about something?"
When did I say I would help you?
"You can lead the entire Sky Ninja lineage to destruction, but don't involve me."
But before Yushan could fully express his excitement, a cold voice broke his self-congratulatory mood.
Such words not only caused the light in the former's eyes to freeze, but also caused the other air ninjas around to show strange expressions.
"And also, if you want to fight for power, then get out of here and go fight for it somewhere else."
"This is where my teacher rests in peace!"
Yu Liu's gaze was filled with indifference.
And he met the gazes of the group of senior ninjas in front of him without the slightest fear.
"Miss Yu Liu, what do you mean?"
"Is it a curse to make the entire Sky Kingdom disappear?"
Yushan ignored most of what the girl said and instead focused on extracting the most offensive charge and pinning it on her.
"I was simply stating a fact that was bound to happen."
"Otherwise, why didn't you make a move just now? He was only one person."
"Hmph, you don't even dare to seek revenge when facing one person, but now you have the audacity to say that you want to make that clan pay the price. I really don't know where you get your courage from."
Yu Liu's voice and eyes revealed a clear and palpable sneer.
"Your proud Angkor fortress is nothing but a paper tiger that can be easily shaken by the enemy!"
"If it weren't for protecting this innocent village, do you think it would have taken that guy a long time to deal with you?"
Faced with the girl's forceful rebuttal, Yu Shancang's momentum weakened further and further, and he was simply unable to refute these biting questions.
"So what difference does it make if I say you're taking your companions to their deaths?"
"What about future developments?"
“You can’t expect the other person to stay stagnant forever, can you? He seems to be younger than all of you.”
"How powerful will he be when we meet next time?"
"What do you say?"
Yushan Kura's hands began to tremble slightly, and his lips were also quivering.
It wasn't that what the girl in front of him said was too terrifying, but because he had witnessed these things with his own eyes!
"No, don't think that just because Shennong taught you some medical skills, you can be so disrespectful to your elders."
"And did the Shennong master really treat you as a student or a successor?"
"Hmph, you should know the truth, shouldn't you?"
"So please stop deceiving yourselves by constantly referring to your teachers!!"
"That guy only used you as a test subject, as a guinea pig. It was all just for Zero's resurrection!!"
Looking at the girl in his field of vision, Yu Shancang roared hysterically, the ferocity in his eyes indescribable.
This is an indisputable fact.
Shennong, who developed the technique of cell activation and resurrected the ferocious beast Zero-Tail, never even considered leaving behind a successor.
